Chocolate and It's Adclterations.

Chocolate is one of the articles of
trade most susceptible of adulteration,
since a very small quantity of the cacao
bean imparts taste and perfume to a
mixture of tasteless and not always
harmless matter. Inscriptions manu-
f~acturers (and especially is this appli-
cable to the small producer) introduce
into the paste flour, ground corn and
beans, stale coffee grounds, veal OF
mutton tallow Ito supply the necessary
oily substance) and the dregs of ground
nuts (peanuts) after the oil has been
completely extracted. The latter SUBJ
stance, which a few years ago was en-
ployed as fertilizer and occasionally
made into cakes as food for dogs, is
now profitably converted in chocolate,
Add to the above ingedients cacao shells
and ground brick, the latter to give
weight, and the components parts of
cheap chocolate are given.
Chocolate manufacturers admit, with
refreshing artlessness, that adulterated
chocolate is very little used in France
but is profitably exported. 1t is diff.
cult to distinguish good chocolate from
fabricated, from the appearance of the
tablets. Good chocolate possesses the
following qualities: it is oily, possess
ing o full and undeniable flavor of cacao
breaks regularly and smooth, f is
slightly ~yellowish in color, with crvs-
talllne appearance, and when cooked
with a little water or milk becomes
only moderately thick. Adulterated
chocolate, on the contrary, breaks if.
regularly, is somewhat gravelly and
porous, is whittish in color, thickens
considerably in cooking and gives forth
an odor, resembling that Of elna
Contectioners' Journal.

THOUGHTFUL THOUGHTS.

LOVERS remember everything.
THERE must ever be a place for vir-
tue.
AN open ~countenance, but close
thoughts.
A MANS folly ought to be his great
est secret.
INGRAT1rUDE and misfortune make
men imperious.
BEFORE you make a friend, eat a peck
of salt with him.
ADMIRATION, when not guided by rea-
son, is ridiculous.
A GOOD man cares not for the re-
proofs of evil men.
A HANDFUL of common sense is worth
a bushel of learning.
IT is the nature of a man to hate
those whom he has injured.
The greatest business is that which
has the longest continuance.
TRUST no secrets to a friend which,
if reported, would bring infamy.
SPEAK little, and speak we'll, if you
would be looked upon as a mar of
merit.
If we had no faults ourselves, we
should not be ready to note the faults
of others.
ELEVATED posts in government are
like steep rocks, only accessible to
eagles and reptiles.
He that caresses you beyond lis Gus
tom, either wants your assistance, or
means to deceive you.
The unjust actions of the rich are
called vices; and the same actions of
the poor are called crimesl
If you would know what is said of
you in your absence, consider what is
said of others in your presence.
They who are possessed of talents
and knowledge, fitting them to serve
their fellow-citizens, ought not to bury
their gifts.

boxes.

THERE is not a better-known man in
New York than Chauncey M. Depew,
the President of the New York Cen
trail. He is the best a%fter-dinner
speaker in the country, and of course is
in demand on all sorts of occasions. It
is said that he is always full of funny
stories, and has never been known to
repeat one or tell one that has ever
been heard before. Where he gets his
stock is a mystery. From the last of
November until the first of March is the
dinner season" at Delmonico's, and
there is rarely q night in all this time
that Mr.. Depew is not there. He av-
erages about four invitations a day, and
generally accepts one. Everybody
around Delmonico's knows him, and he
always shakes hands and calls by nam
all the walters. He times himself so
as to get into the banquet hall just as
the oysters are being served, and never
leaves until the thing is over. The
walters all know his favorite brands of
wine, and he finds the bottles at his
side without having to order them.
When he starts in on his speech he pays
a handsome compliment to those pres
emf, and leads off with a funny story
and keeps it up until he sits down.
While he is talking he forgets every
thing else, and his constant worry is
that he may have spoken too long.
When he leaves the dining-room he al
ways asks the head waiter if any other
dinners r going IN in the building,
and then drops a quarter, always a
quarter-into the little cup in the coat
room. As he passes out he leaves the
cigar which he has chewed all through
the speeches, but has not lighted, and
buttoning up his great coat, halls a
Fifth rel stage. One of the best
stories told by this popular railroad
president is a good joke on himself.
Recently he got a letter from some
weary traveller saying that he had read
with interest a great many of Mr.. De-
pew's a~fter-dinner speeches of late.
"And," continued the letter, II have a
good deal of curiosity to hear what you
would have to say after eating a dinner
at your railroad restaurant at Troy"

The Demands Of Labor.

AS Mr.. Hardware, of the w%ell-known
firm of Hardware & Toole, was writing
in his private office, he was waited upon
by q committee of his employees who
told him that they were dissatisfied and
had decided to strike unless certain de-
mands were complied with.
whats the matter?" asked Mr..
Hardware. aren't you getting enough
pay?n -,
the spokesman.
"Too many hours of work?"
"No. Hours all right"
"Well, what's the matter them"
well, you see we go to work about Z
o'clock"
"Yes. Is it too early?"
"No. But about 8 o'clock we get
thirsty, and we want half an hour off to
get some beer"
"Half an hour seems rather o long
time"
Perhaps; but one can't drink five or
six glasses of beer in a minute"
"Well, I'll allow it. I don't want to
have any trouble with my employees.
Anything more?"
"A trlt1e. You see, about IL o'clock
We get thirsty again"
"Ill give you another half hour then.
Now go about your work"
The men left, but within an hour
they came around again threatening to
strike.
whats the matter now?" asked Mr..
Hardware.
well, sir" said the spokesman, Eve
need some more beer at 2 o'clock"
"All right, take it."
"And-and-"
well, wcll-what now?"
"Why, you see, sir, by that time We'll
be SO drunk We can't work any more, so
we want to be let off then"
"Look here!" exclaimed the pro-
prietor Strengthening up, "if 1 have the
morning bell rung from the saloon
across the way, will you drop in here
and work between drinks?"
"Yes, SIR"
With no increase of pay?"
mo increase"
"Then I presume we can consider
that settled"
The committee looked troubled, and
held a consultation in the doorway.
Then they gave their ultimatum as
follows:
Well, sir, that's all right as far as it
goes, but we will have to strike unless
you agree to pay for the BEER

IT is estimated that the wheat mar
kets of the United States declined about
2 cents per bushel, on the average, as o
result of the vote to increase the duty
on wheat and -four imported by France.
That would represent a loss of some
50, 800, 900 on the quantity of wheat still
remaining over from the last crop. As
that sum is, roughly speaking, equal to
the total foreign value of the wheat
sent by the United States to France
during the last eight months, it
would seem that the spectators at
tached too much Importance to the fact
AS they usually do with all facts
which are supposed to have an inau-
ence on the course of the markets.

The New Orleans Southeastern
Christian Advocate, q newspaper for
negroes, says that according to its OBJ
servation the great mass of white per-
sons, when talking with each other, say
"negro" (the low-bred say nigger), but
when speaking to negroes they say
"colored people," which is the same as
to say: "You are negroes, but I cater
to your foolish pride in saying colored. +"
"We can stand and PREFER" says The
Advocate, ito be called negroes all
the time, for the simple eason that we
are negroes"
